David Guymer QUOTES

1 " Why is it, I wonder, that Sigmar felt compelled to burden you with such poor imaginations? Very well. Judicate me, if you can. "

― David Guymer , The Beasts of Cartha

2 " You have achieved nothing. Do you not see? Nothing. We scurry through time, like the rats in Fizqwik’s wheel. Over and over the same mistakes. I am glad to be done. I am sick of it. "

― David Guymer , Headtaker (Warhammer Heroes #9)

3 " I think the Horned Rat prefers his children blind or we would surely have the world now. And he knows we would betray even him if we could. "

― David Guymer , Headtaker (Warhammer Heroes #9)

4 " Our interests intersect more than they diverge. "

― David Guymer , Dreadwing (Black Library Novella Series 1, #5)

― David Guymer , Curse of the Everliving

7 " There have always been those who would champion the merits of perception, instinct, or faith over Empirical Truth. But facts are immutable, regardless of who or what perceives them. Power will always belong to the one who knows them. To one accustomed to small triumphs, every victory is great. It is in my gift, and in yours, to see beyond. "

― David Guymer , Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

8 " Some men demand such pomp. They cannot accept the end of one era and the commencement of another without an occasion by which to mark it and give it meaning. Laurels must be given, honours and fair titles invented so that they may be bestowed upon favoured generals. Some men need recognition.' The shadows around the Emperor's throne deepened. But beneath the layers of obfuscation, deep within the myriad guises of that singularly unfathomable being, the Lion felt the Emperor behold His firstborn son.
'Some men,' the Emperor continued, 'do not. "

― David Guymer , Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

9 " The Lion had long held that the calibre of man was in reverse proportion to their need to make their worth known. It was a belief that had yet to be proven false. "

― David Guymer , Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

10 " Sentinels died and wards fade, but I am everliving. "

― David Guymer , Curse of the Everliving

11 " See-smell, man thing. Hear us, touch us. We are broken. Many times we die-die. Change bodies to burn and still back we come. Many times, again, and again, and again, forever-ever. "

― David Guymer , City of the Damned (Gotrek and Felix)

12 " He ground his teeth and pushed hard. His muscles screamed from the effort. But where he pushed, the legions of the Damned pushed with him. They were innumerable, thousands upon thousands. There were farmers, fishwives, merchants and priests. And there were warriors. Felix saw the outline of armour and axes, Magnus's army, the shades of those that had once battled Chaos and would now battle it once more at Felix's side. "

― David Guymer , City of the Damned (Gotrek and Felix)

13 " All who ever lived. All who ever died. "

― David Guymer , City of the Damned (Gotrek and Felix)

14 " The only things that come easily are those which no one values. "

― David Guymer , The Court of the Blind King (Warhammer Age of Sigmar)

15 " Secrecy is our shield. It is how we defend lesser men from themselves. "

― David Guymer , Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

16 " We all have darker natures, daemons of the soul we would prefer our brothers not see. "

― David Guymer , The Voice of Mars (Iron Hands, #2)

17 " Death is not the end. Not for the everliving. "

― David Guymer , Curse of the Everliving

18 " The king does seal himself from his subjects and will not speak on such matters, but the Grudge price must be set and so it shall be.

For the desecration of the Third Deep: one thousand urk heads.

For the lost lives of two hundred and thirteen dawi in defiance of such barbarism: two thousand urk heads.

For the abduction of Queen Morga, the lustre of Azul, and those others of King Kazador’s blood: their safe return with five thousand urk heads, or the restoration of their remains to the Ancestor Chambers of Karak Azul and no fewer than six thousand of the greenskin dead.

Of Kazador’s son, the king does forbid our speaking beyond the pages of the kron. The prince is no longer of sound mind and the king does command his confinement until he can be found recovered. Let it be known that that for the brutal shaming of brave Prince Kazrik upon the very seat of the Iron Throne itself, King Kazador will accept no price. May this grudge against the urk of Black Crag stand forevermore.

The greatly wronged king did then rouse from his grief to issue one mighty decree: half his wealth to any that returns his lost kin, and the pick of his own treasures to any that can avenge his son’s torture upon the squatter king. The thanes did each raise voice against so rash and unprecedented an oath, but the king, so mined of passion that even the wealth of Karak Azul could afford him no joy, was resolute.

Thus is it recorded, and by Grimnir let it soon be done. "

― David Guymer , Headtaker (Warhammer Heroes #9)

19 " None destroys a city like Queek "

― David Guymer , Headtaker (Warhammer Heroes #9)
